Tonight is Social Media Smackdown, which is being billed as live, even though the show was taped on Tuesday. Hopefully WWE has a bunch of interns filtering out all the trolls trying to post spoilers during the show. (Not that I would ever do that.) It must be a special occasion, because we are getting the three man booth of Michael Cole, Josh Matthews, and Jerry Lawler from Oklahoma City.

World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio kicks off the show, and his opponent tonight, Damien Sandow. The intellectual savior to the masses, tells the Champ that he actually fits in with America, because he too has trouble with the English language. Del Rio tells Sandow that his breath smells like crap. (Ah, poop jokes, WWE you never let me down.

Match #1 – Alberto Del Rio w/ Ricardo Rodriguez vs. Damien Sandow

Del Rio beat Sandow into the corner, snaps him over his shoulder and kicks him in the back. Michael Cole mentions Rory McIlroy misses the cut today in the Honda Classic. (Let me pull back the curtain here, Cole and gang, which sounds like a bad Cool and the Gang cover band, are providing live commentary over a taped show. Even though they were actually there on Tuesday. I wonder what they were doing as the show taped?)

Del Rio sends Sandow to the floor with an enziguri from the apron, and we go to commercial. After the break, Sandow is in control in the middle of the ring, dropping an elbow on the champ. Sandow keeps the pressure on with a knee to the back and a chin lock. Del Rio fights out of the hold with a head butt. Del Rio ducks a clothesline, countering with a release German suplex. Sandow misses Del Rio in the corner and eats the turnbuckle, allowing Del Rio to connect with a kick the face. Del Rio covers, but Sandow kicks out at two. Sandow gets caught on the ropes, allowing the champ to hit the back stabber. Del Rio runs in to a boot though, and Sandow connects with a neck breaker, netting him only two count, though. Sandow sets up his finishing neck breaker, but Del Rio is able to counter into the cross arm breaker. Sandow taps out and Del Rio picks up the win.

Winner via submission: Alberto Del Rio

During the break, Del Rio calls himself the Smackdown! leader and he wants to give power to the WWE Universe by letting the fans choose his opponent next week.

Daniel Bryan tosses a blindfold at Kane, saying that is the only reason he beat the Prime Time Players. Kane claims it was because if the choke slam. Bryan talked to Booker T and tonight, Kane will wear the blindfold and Bryan will have his armed tied behind his back. Kane says he is fine with that, because now he doesn't have to look at Bryan's goat face.

Colter interrupts with an immigration rant. I can sum up his thoughts with one phrase, "THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!" Colter says Swagger will win the title at Wrestlemania and Del Rio needs to leave the country. Swagger just keeps repeating, "We the people!" JR accuses Colter of brainwashing Swagger. Colter takes offense and Swagger takes a swipe at JR, calling him part of the problem. He also tells JR that he isn't a real American. Alberto Del Rio interrupts before any harm can come to JR.
